KING OF DIAMONDS

A few years ago, I met this guy from Hawaii on ICQ random chat. (You know how it is when you are bored and lonely and no-one on line?) Well, there he was.

He said he was a performer in "Legends in Concert". He was Neil Diamond. And get this, he lives with Madonna and Elvis.

I was so fascinated by him. Why would this guy, who could talk to anyone he wanted, bother to talk to me? (he must have felt really sorry for me, right?)

We have kept in touch through ICQ and e-mail. We've had a few serious conversations, mostly about my problems, and he has given his opinion, sometimes I liked it and sometimes I didn't.

Well, several months ago, he moved back to Las Vegas to work there. I wanted to see him perform so bad, and after all Las Vegas is much closer than Hawaii, right? Wrong, it's about the same distance when you are Choc-lover from middle Georgia.

BUT....a few weeks ago, he messaged and said he had a performance at Jeykll Island, Georgia on Monday night, August 16th. WOW, my heart stopped. He would only be a 3 hour drive away from me.

Yep, and you guessed it. This page is about that wonderful performance.

And now, Ladies and Gentlemen, the solitary man..Neil Diamond!

OHHHHHHHHH YESSSSSSSS!

This is Rob on stage performing. When he came out, he sang,"You Got to Me." I think the rest of the crowd screamed. I couldn't hear them over me, my sisters and nieces.

Rob, then sang, "Hello Again", "Solitary Man", Cherry Cherry", and "Sweet Caroline". And honey, I could have died here. Just look into those eyes. DREAMY!

Rob was great, and guess what? He called me up to dance with him as he sang "Sweet Caroline". (I know he felt my knees knocking and my heart pounding) LOL

Rob was really cool. He shook hands with the people as he performed and he could REALLY move. LOL.

Rob finished up his performance by singing, "Forever In Blue Jeans", "Cracklin Rosie", and "I Am, I Said." I think Rob thought he was finished there but the folks on the other side of the room started yelling for "Coming To America". And you guessed it, Rob then finished up the performance with, "America"

As Rob finished, the bowed, thanked us, said "God Bless" and off he ran.

After the show, Rob came back out to sign autographs and allowed us to take some pics of him. This is Rob with my older sister, Betsy.

I know I look drunk here, but I was just high on excitement.


This is the pic that Rob signed for me. He said he would write something special and it is very special to me. FRIENDS!

Folks, if you are like me and you will never get to see the real Neil Diamond, then take the next best thing. The best Neil Diamond impersonator in the world, Mr. Rob Garrett.
And if you go, you better invite me!!!, LOL

You have to read the e-mail Rob sent about his plane trip from Vegas. It is the travelers nightmare. It is so funny.
